Alti
Altitude Data Logger
As used by Peter Sainsbury in his 'Simply
the Best' Electric Flight of 42m 38s on 20th April 2005.
This device logs the altitude of the model during the duration of the
flight.

The Data Logger
Alti 2 is a small device, which can be fitted into almost any model and
will store a record of the model’s altitude. When
you get home, the Alti is connected to your PC and the data downloaded
via the supplied software - you can then analyse your model’s
flights and performance. For example, if you are flying a glider and
want to optimise the model’s climb rate, the Alti will do
this for you and allow you to choose the best prop for the job. Alti is
powered by the receiver battery and could be connected to a spare
channel, which then enables flight markers to be entered into the data
record in order to make later analysis easier. Sample rate of
the unit is adjustable from one sample every 01./sec to one every 6
seconds.
